You may optionally provide an e-mail address if you are willing for the Charity Commission to e-mail you with information and updates about trusteeship.

TRUSTEE DETAILS : some notes for PCC members

You are being asked to complete this form as a member of a PCC which is required to register with the Charity Commission. As a PCC member you are a trustee of your PCC, and the Commission requires details of all trustees at registration.

Firstly, would you please read the paragraph in the box below, and check that you are eligible to become a trustee. If you are not eligible, please contact the person who is processing your registration with the Charity Commission.

Some people are disqualified by law from acting as charity trustees or nominees, including:

• anyone who has been convicted of an offence involving deception or dishonesty, unless the conviction is spent;

• anyone who is an undischarged bankrupt;

• anyone who has previously been removed from trusteeship of a charity by the Court or the Commissioners for misconduct or mismanagement; and

• anyone who is under a disqualification order under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.

NOTES :

The Commission requires a full set of details for each trustee (PCC member), which consists of:

• all of your personal names (also known as first or given names);

• all of your family names (also known as surnames);

• your date of birth; and

• your home address and postcode.

• your telephone number.

The Commission would also find it helpful if you can supply an email although this is not a requirement. This will be used to send updates that the Commission believes will be helpful to you.

You may enter honours or qualifications that you would like to appear after your name, eg BA, OBE.

You have the opportunity to enter a preferred name for the trustee, for example, Rob Clarkin instead of Mr Robert James Clarkin. This will be the name displayed on the Commission’s website. If a preferred name is not given the title (if supplied), full name and honours and qualifications (if supplied) will be used in that order.

Please note that unless a dispensation is granted, the trustees’ names will appear on the public register of charities, which can be viewed on the Commission’s  website. Trustees’ addresses and other personal details will not be made public.

Other names

The Charity Commission need to know all previous and other current names that this person has or does use. This is required for the purposes of the checks the Commission make on trustees. They will not keep a permanent record of ‘other names’ and they will not be displayed to the public.
